[40d] Ten Levels Down "Above Ground" With Roof
« on: September 25, 2008, 10:41:54 pm »

On a glacier map, ten levels down, with two layers of constructed Floor above it, my ice refuses to melt because it says it is "Inside - Light - Above Ground".

This is a known bug. Unfortunately, every square that is not sheltered by natural (i.e. not constructed) floors is considered light-above ground.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

Well, shit. I don't suppose I can cause a horizontal cave-in, can I?

No.  But magma + water might do it.

Glacier.

That said, I hope this gets fixed in the next release. Seems like it's a major inhibitor to farming planning.

Incidentally, when trying to plant aboveground seeds on this terrain, it doesn't work.

You answered that one already:

Yes, yes, I know. :P

I decided to start over (AGAIN) because the inability to procure drinking water makes my trapless monster-killing/goblin-fighting ambitions near impossible.
